I was very kindly given an e-ARC of this book via Netgalley and Random House UK / Vintage.

It's a book where nothing and everything happens. And had I picked this up at really any other time, I might not have gotten more than a few pages. But the winds have been changing this month and suddenly, I am gobbling up contemporary and literary fiction like it's going out of business. 'Three Days In June' follows Gail, the mother-of-the-bride who has mixed feelings about her daughter's impending marriage. It's quiet in its execution, with a somewhat meandering, if gentle plot line. Fans of Anne Tyler will lap it up, but considering this was my first foray into her work, I found myself pleasantly surprised. I think I'll be returning to her, but potentially in a different format. I felt there were plotlines that were introduced and then abandoned, but there aren't nearly enough pages in this book for those to come to fruition. Seemed to be conflict for conflicts sake, rather than having a significant impact on the overall plot.

'Three Days In June' will be available from February 2025.
